The self-luminous direct-view-type SHV display device
features a pixel pitch of 0.411mm, a 60ppi resolution
and opearates at a frequency of 60Hz. Other
specifications such as brightness, contrast ratio, color
gamut and thickness are equivalent to those of existing
PDPs. Panasonic suggests a 1.6m viewing distance for
the display, in order to enjoy realistic viewing.

NHK and Panasonic started the development of the PDP in
April 2007. This time, they made a prototype at
Panasonic's Amagasaki Fifth Plant, which is currently
not being used.

NHK and Panasonic are planning to develop 70/80-inch
models of the display for home use.
